Need help choosing the ideal hoop size?

December 09, 2014

Over the years, many of my online customers have found it difficult to visualize Mostly Sweet Jewelry's range of hoop sizes. It has not been uncommon for women to use my 100% satisfaction guarantee after receiving their order to swap their hoops for a more suitable size. I have been longing for a way to simplify the quest for the perfect hoops.

While recently reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my son, I thought quite a bit about Willie Wonka's nifty invention, Wonkavision. If only there was a way to zap some actual hoop sizes into an online shoppers hands. After careful consideration of the problem, my team of Oompa Loompas has found the solution.

I introduce to you the revolutionary Printable Hoop Size Guide. Simply print* this PDF, and you will have every size of Mostly Sweet hoops in front of you in actual scale. A few snips with some scissors and you can even try them on!

*Be sure to print on 8.5"x11" paper, in landscape mode. Don't let your printer try any of its resizing or cropping tricks - tell it you want "actual size." Place a US quarter in the blank circle to confirm that your guide printed correctly.

Also in Mostly Sweet. Nothing more. Nothing less.

A few years back, my stepmom Annie was visiting and her heavy copper cuff bracelet was quite tarnished. Instead of asking me to use my professional jeweler toys (a tumbler, rotary tools, stacks of polishing cloths or crockpot full of hot citric acid pickle) she just opened up the fridge and pulled out the ketchup bottle. Within a few minutes, she had restored its orange copper shine.

Your beautiful copper jewelry, which started out so shiny and sparkling, has gradually lost its rosy luster. Over time, the jewelry has become chocolate brown - maybe even black. What is going on? Tarnish. Learn how to prevent and remove tarnish from your copper jewelry to restore its original shine.
